  • Wayve secures $1.5B Series D for autonomous AI vehicle technology

    Awesome to see the UK establishing a leadership role in developing AI talent – we @Uber are super excited about partnering with @wayve_ai as they build Embodied AI than can truly scale globally. Alex Kendall (@alexgkendall) Another major milestone in @wayve_ai's history. Proud to say we’ve secured $1.5 billion Series D investment at $8.6 billion valuation. We started a decade ago with a contrarian technical thesis: that self-driving is an AI problem, and Embodied AI will enable autonomy to scale without rules, HD-maps and using mass-produced hardware. Now we're entering commercialisation, we're taking a contrarian commercial strategy too, selecting the business model with the largest opportunity to scale. We're not selling our own cars, which limits scale to one brand. We're not operating our own fleets, which limits autonomy to city-by-city expansion. We're licensing autonomy to any vehicle, anywhere. This new business model is only possible now because we've built a general purpose AI driver, which is flexible to work with any vehicle architecture and proven to drive all around the world. This unlocks a high margin software licensing model, which we're now excited to be deploying with global partners with the strength of this new funding round. Thank you to our new and returning financial investors for backing our vision all the way: @EclipseVentures, @balderton, @SoftBank, @OTPPinfo, @BaillieGifford, @BritishBBank, @IcehouseVenture and @Schroders among other global institutional investors. We're deepening our partnerships with @Microsoft and @nvidia to build and deploy Embodied AI at global scale, and with @Uber, who are announcing supervised robotaxi trials in 10 cities around the world, starting with London this year. To top it off, three top-10 global automakers across Europe, Japan and USA are backing and believing in our technology for consumer vehicles and robotaxis: @MercedesBenz, @Nissan and @Stellantis. I’ve always believed that our end-to-end AI approach would lead the way in autonomy. This latest investment and the endorsement that comes with it make me believe that the industry is also now converging on that idea too. What's next? We have a busy next few years of commercial delivery: supervised robotaxi trials around the world in 2026 and consumer vehicle sales from 2027. Thank you to the incredible Wayve team for making this all possible. Check out all details here: wayve.ai/press/series-d/ — https://nitter.net/alexgkendall/status/2026447299711578450#m

  • Edge Control: Ultra-Low Latency Data Processing at Network Edge

    What if critical data didn’t have to travel far to support faster, more responsive decisions? That's what's possible with Edge Control from @TMobileBusiness. Traditional networks backhaul data through multiple hops, adding latency, security risks, and costs. For AI manufacturing, remote ops, or diagnostics, those delays can be deal-breakers. Edge Control creates a local "breakout" at the network edge; routing traffic closer to where work happens: 1️⃣Ultra-low latency for split-second decisions 2️⃣Local data processing for compliance & control 3️⃣Enhanced security via reduced routing complexity All of this is centrally managed through T-Platform, T-Mobile’s unified portal that gives teams a single place to see and control every Edge Control deployment and other T-Mobile for Business solutions. "Networks should accelerate ambition, not hold it back." – @MoKatibeh, @TMobile CMO Transform your operations: bit.ly/3YHvkY9 @TMobileBusiness Partner #EdgeControl

  • French energy policy threatens AI manufacturing and reindustrialization
    French energy policy threatens AI manufacturing and reindustrialization

    La nouvelle politique énergétique est suicidaire. Je pense qu’il y a des gens corrompus dans l’appareil d’Etat Cette politique est folle Le coût de l’électricité est tellement cher qu’il sera impossible de fabriquer de l’IA en France Et la réindustrialisation c’est foutu !
